It was tough to pare down the supporting actor comedy category for this year’s EWwy Awards. After the Emmy noms were announced, the “NICK OFFERMAN WAS ROBBED” comments appeared so early and often on EW.com that in my mind, Ron Swanson is the poster manchild for the EWwys. (Victory over him, Ron Swanson, would be the rarest jewel of all.) Virtually every dude on Community and Parks and Recreation should have been a candidate according to your nominations, not to mention the dozens of other funny guys on TV. We reluctantly narrowed the field to six. Watch them below, then flip through all of this year’s EWwy nominees in our photo gallery. READ FULL STORY »

Chris Harrison blogs 'Bachelor Pad' episode 4
Before we start talking Bachelor Pad, I just want to say the Bachelor family is thinking about those affected by the hurricane this weekend. Our “Bachelor Gives Back” crew is already thinking of ways to help. Now let’s talk about this week’s dramatic Bachelor Pad episode. We started with the exit of Jake. He left the contestants with some very good advice: If you have any thoughts of winning this thing you have to vote out the power couples. Kasey survived the closest vote yet and as he put it, he feels he is the strongest “strategist” in the house. You would think with Jake gone the house would calm down but that was not the case at all. READ FULL STORY »

'Bachelor Pad' episode 4: 'I don't even speak to her and I feel like she drains the life out of me'
Shocker! The quote above does not, in fact, refer to Vienna. But I think those of you who’ve seen tonight’s episode of Bachelor Pad (and SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t) know exactly who Graham was referring to. It was an emotional night, rose lovers, and not just because Princess Crazytears went off on her supposed “partner” yet again. If you’re like me, you found yourself tearing up a bit during Michael and Holly’s heartbreaking heart-to-heart on the couch. (Let her go, Stag! You can do better!) As for the eliminations? Yeah, well… no real surprises there. Can’t wait until the “power couples” have to start turning on each other. Stay tuned for my full recap later tonight (UPDATE: Kristen’s Bachelor Pad episode 4 recap is live), but in the meantime let me know what you thought about tonight’s episode. Did the kissing contest make you sick to your stomach? Would you rather kiss Kasey, Vienna, or the barrel of a loaded gun? And who’s your favorite couple in the house? Let’s hear it, rose lovers!

Memo to Hollywood: Tennis, anyone?
Image Credit: Steve Powell/Allsport/Getty Images
As the 130th U.S. Open tennis championships gets under way today in post-hurricane New York, I can’t help but wonder aloud why Hollywood has consistently failed to make a great good decent mediocre film about the sport so many of its members play. Like Hollywood’s favorite go-to sport, boxing, tennis is a game that pits two competitors in a clash of wills, both physical and mental. They are alone on the court for hours at a time, with no one to hate but their opponent and no one to blame but themselves (okay, and the occasional line judge). Moreover, tennis is a four-quadrant sport that millions of Americans play and can relate to, yet check out any list of the greatest sports movies of all time and tennis is completely — and justifiably — absent. Dig deeper into some pathetic tennis-only movie lists, and you’ll make yourself depressed trying to pretend that Wimbledon was a half-decent movie or that Match Point qualifies as a tennis flick. In 100 years or so of film, only Pat & Mike, with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy stands out as an acceptable and legitimate tennis movie.

'Drop Dead Diva': We want Jane with this guy!
SPOILER ALERT! On last night’s Drop Dead Diva, Jane met a new judge, played by Lex Medlin, pictured. He appears confident, charming, clever, and capable of delivering a double entendre in a non-sleazy manner. (“Thank you for the plant, by the way… it’s very pretty,” he told Jane, who’d given him a welcome gift/bribe.) When the two of them ended the episode walking arm-and-arm to drinks then dinner, I cheered from my sofa. The tramp-stamped waitress Grayson stopped dating because Jane had convinced him he was leading the girl on was right when she looked at all Jane has done for Grayson and said, “That’s more than a friendship. That’s an investment…. You should tell him how you really feel or move on. You might not be sleeping with him, Jane, but you’re still giving it away.”
The question is, does anyone want Jane and Grayson together at this point? I keep going back to what Fred said last week when Jane asked him if her thinking Grayson could do better than the waitress meant that she thought he could do better than her when she was still Deb: “Well, you’ve changed…. You have higher expectations of yourself, so maybe you have higher expectations for Grayson.” Seeing a man “have fun” with a woman we assume is shallow makes him less attractive — even if he deserves to have some fun after one fiancée died and another left him at the altar. And why was Grayson satisfied with Deb? READ FULL STORY »

Courtney Stodden turns 17, shortens age gap between her and her 51-year-old husband
Image Credit: Splash News
Even though Courtney Stodden should be the one getting presents for this, her 17th birthday, the actress/model/fodder for The Soup got us all something instead: The gift of perpetually creeping us out! Yes, actor Doug Hutchsinon’s teen bride turned one year older today. And as she proved from her Twitter page is all the wiser: “Celebrating the last night of being sweet-n-sexy 16 by wearing NOTHING but my tasty bday-suit! Mmm; Yummy! ; -)” (If your reaction to reading that sounded something like this, you are correct.)
If that weren’t enough to prompt you to make bizarre, uncomfortable faces, read what Stodden’s mother Krista, who has been supportive of her daughter’s relationship to the Lost star who is now only 34 years her senior, told E! News about her little girl’s birthday plans. “Courtney and Doug were planning on going to Disneyland,” she said, adding, “It’s funny they call her the child bride, but she does love going to Disneyland.” Sure, let’s go with “funny” as the word you were looking for.

'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air': A tribute to the series that launched Will Smith

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down. And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became obsessed with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Really, seriously obsessed. And, strangely enough, not until recently. Sure, I caught the show every once in awhile in the 1990s. But I never fully appreciated it until I was much older — and aware about Will Smith’s status as a superstar.
Prior to revisiting Fresh Prince a few years back, thanks to those TBS reruns, I never could call myself a fan of the multi-camera sitcom. Most series in the genre were dated, predictable, and less funny than Hillary’s boyfriend Trevor. So when I flipped on a rerun of Fresh Prince a few years back, I was surprised how much Fresh Prince distanced itself from other sitcoms of its era. The wardrobe might have represented the worst of the ’90s, but the series still felt, well, fresh. The show took risks, going bluer than most sitcoms aimed at a family-friendly audience. And, most importantly, it was knock-down, drag-out funny. READ FULL STORY »

Breaking: 'Jersey Shore' star J-Woww doesn't know her hair metal

What started out as a simple question on the red carpet of last night’s MTV Video Music Awards — What is your all-time favorite music video and why? — turned into a difficult answer for Jersey Shore‘s Jennifer “J-Woww” Farley. “It would have to be Gun N’ Roses. Maybe ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn.’ Oh, no, that was Bon Jovi,” she said. Actually, that’s a Poison song, EW stringer Carrie Borzillo corrected her. “That was Poison? No. Where they pass away and the casket? That was Guns N’ Roses. Oh, no, wait. ‘November Rain’ is what I mean. It was original. No CG or anything. It was all about a story.”
Hilarious? Yes. But forgivable?

Jay-Z joins the proud papa pantheon, as we look back at other pop-culture pregnancy reactions

While it’s a pretty safe assumption that Jay-Z already knew his beloved was carrying his babeyonce (boy, that won’t get old during the next few months, will it?), his elated reaction to Beyonce’s pregnancy announcement during the VMAs was even better than ours. Watch the moment again (and again and again) below: READ FULL STORY »
